Common Porch & Deck Issues & Signs You Need a Professional
Wooden decks in Florida take a beating from UV and rain. Splintered wood and popped nails are dangerous for bare feet.
- Pop-Up Nails: Nail heads sticking up, catching toes.
- Rotted Planks: Boards feel soft or spongy when walked on.
- Loose Railings: Wobbly handrails are a major safety hazard.
- Failed Stain: Gray, dry wood that's lost all sealant protection.
